YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA key agency approved President Trump’s plan on Friday to build a 90,000-square-foot ballroom where the White House’s East Wing once stood.
The massive complex, which would be more than one-and-a-half times larger than the White House residence, is very controversial. The panel got more than 30,000 written comments on the plan, and almost all of them opposed the project.
On Tuesday, U.S. District Court Judge Richard Leon ruled that construction on President Trump’s White House ballroom “must stop until Congress authorizes its completion.”
“The President of the United States is the steward of the White House for future generations of First Families. He is not, however, the owner!” Leon wrote.
